Abstract

A simple, nondestructive method to suppress pressure pulses in fluid-filled piping is theoretically analyzed, and the result provides the basis needed for design and evaluation of a pressure-pulse suppression device based on the proposed theory. The method is based on forming of fluid jets in the event of a pressure surge, such that the pulse height and the energy of the pulse are reduced. The results for pressure pulses in the range of practical interest show that a substantial reduction in the pulse height can be attained, with accompanying reduction of the pulse remaining in the system. The analysis also reveals that a certain amount of trade-off exists in the design of the suppression device; a certain level of pulse energy remaining in the system must be accepted in order to keep the pulse height below a certain level, and vice versa.
